25
Puhu Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa, ja sano: tämä on rikosuhrin sääty: kussa paikassa polttouhri teurastetaan, siinä pitää myös rikosuhri teurastettaman Herran edessä, ja se on kaikkein pyhin.
Mooseksen kirja 6:25

Arcana Coelestia #3401
3401. 'And Abimelech commanded all the people, saying' means a decree. This is clear from the meaning of 'commanding' as making a decree; from the representation of 'Abimelech' as people who possess the doctrine of faith, dealt with in 3392, and in the highest sense the Lord, 3393; and from the meaning of 'people' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 3398. From this it is evident that 'Abimelech commanded all the people' means a decree from the Lord made within the spiritual Church. The decree itself is what follows next, which is that Divine Truth and Divine Good are not to be exposed, insomuch that not even any approach is to be made towards them by faith, because of the danger of eternal condemnation if they are made profane. This point is dealt with next.
Leviticus 19:20-22
20
"'If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed, or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21
He shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22
The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Yahweh for his sin which he has committed: and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
